Abstract

We give a brief introduction to two fundamental papers by Daniel Quillen appearing in the Annals, 1971. These papers established the foundations of equivariant cohomology and gave a qualitative description of the cohomology of an arbitrary finite group. We briefly describe some of the influence of these seminal papers in the study of cohomology and representations of finite groups, restricted Lie algebras, and related structures.
